see the simplified story here

We have a general interest in development and application of innovative technologies for characterising different molecular layers, including (epi)genome and transcriptome, at the single-cell resolution. We further decipher the connectivity and interplay between those molecular layers within a single cell and their impact on cellular identity and function. We constantly explore new avenues towards translating our research into the clinic.

 

The lab is specifically focused on studying (epi)genome  (in)stability in early human development with application to the clinic, e.g. preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Our research lies at the intersection of classical genetics, molecular and developmental genetics, clinical genetics, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence.
